Noel VietmeyerU.S. National Academy of
Sciences“Although few people have heard of it today, Moringa could soon become one of the world’s most valuable plants, at least in humanitarian terms.” -1992

12 years ago, very few projects and studies were being done with Moringa in Africa
![Page 6: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Today, there are many organizations, churches, and individuals promoting or using Moringa in virtually every country
in sub-Saharan Africa – wherever the tree can grow

In some countries, the number of NGO’s involved with Moringa has become so great
that national associations of Moringa promoters have been created

FILMS EXTOLLING MORINGAIt is quite surprising to find many
films about Moringa are now featured on Youtube: films made in the Philippines, India, Madagascar, Ghana, Senegal, the United States. . .

![Page 13: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AVRDC REPORTVariation among 10 M.oleifera accessions for nutrient contents were small and thus varietal selection should focus on horticulture traits.
![Page 14: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
AVRDC REPORT ON NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY
• Mature leaves were more nutritious than young shoots and could be quickly dried with minimum nutrient loss.
• We found that harvest season and leaf stage significantly influenced nutrient contents of Moringa leaves. Higher protein, vitamin A and glucosinolates contents and AOA (antioxidant activities) were obtained in hot-wet season; whereas, higher iron, vitamin C, and phenolic contents were found in cool-dry season.
![Page 15: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AVRDC REPORT ON NUTRIENT BIOAVAILABILIY
Oligosaccharides and oxalate were reported as anti-nutrient factors in Moringa leaves. . . In this study, stachyose and raffinose were not found in mature leaves but detected in young leaves. . .
Moringa mature leaves contained very low value of oxalate (0.99±0.21mg/g/dw) compared to spinach (25-45mg/g/dw).
![Page 16: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
AVRDC REPORT ON IRON BIOAVAILABILITY
Boiling in water enhanced the in vitro iron bioavailability of Moringa fresh leaves and dried powder by 3.5 and 3 times, respectively.
Cooking Moringa leaves also raised total available iron of mixtures with other food items such as mungbeans.
![Page 17: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
AVRDC RECOMMENDATIONS
Our survey of over 120 species of tropical and subtropical edible plants for nutrient content, antioxidant activity (AOA) and crop traits indicated that Moringa oleifera is one of the most promising crops which could increase intake of micronutrients and antioxidants.
![Page 18: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
AVRDC RECOMMENDATIONMoringa should be
promoted for greater consumption to
improve nutrition and strengthen immune
functions for fighting infectious diseases.

CLINICAL STUDIESA study in India with human diabetics
found that blood sugar levels decreased through daily intake of Moringa leaf powder.
A study with humans in Ghana indicated that intake of Moringa leaf powder can decrease hypertension.
A study in the Philippines found that consumption of Moringa fruit can increase sperm count.

TRADITIONAL REMEDIES• New treatments from seminars in
Ghana March 2008 by ANAMED:• Many people said that Moringa
had helped greatly to improve their general health. Some said that their short sight had improved.
• Cuts and woundsPound fresh leaves into a paste. Cover the wound with this paste, bandage and leave for 3 days.
![Page 22: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
•A woman has given birth and is bleeding.Pound fresh leaves, add a little water and give it her to drink.
•Prevention of polio. Give flowers to children to eat to prevent polio.
•Chronic sores. Take some roots, wash them and scrape the outside layer off. Heat in water. Use the water to wash the wound. Then dress as number 1.
![Page 23: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
•Epilepsy.Pound the bark or the roots of a mature tree. Add tender leaves and a little water. Smear this paste over the face and the whole body. Also put a little of the pounded root in a handkerchief and inhale.
•To bring fever down.Dip a Moringa branch into water and stroke the whole body. Then give Moringa tea to drink.
![Page 24: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
•Snake and scorpion bites.Pound the root, add leaves and apply to the bite. Stops the poison from spreading.
•Short sight. Wash the flowers in salt water, chew and swallow. Take three times daily. Or cook the flowers in palm oil.
![Page 25: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
•To cleanse the blood.Wash the root and remove the bark (not the “bast”, i.e. the inner layer immediately under the bark that carries the sap from the roots to the leaves). Put into water that has just boiled and has been removed from the heat. The water changes colour. Mix with a few Moringa leaves. Thereafter, take every day take Moringa leaves in water.
![Page 26: Lowell Echo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062401/577cce211a28ab9e788d64a9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Clear thinking for school children – especially under-performing children.Wash Moringa root, remove the bark and soak in water for two days until the water changes color (brown / pink) (or as 10 above). Remove the roots, take one cup of the liquid and mix with half a cup of honey. Give to the child first thing in the morning – then he should have no breakfast until 9 o'clock. He can even take it again in the evening. Prepare this root water fresh every day. Note: heating Moringa causes it to lose it healing properties.

•Severe stomach-ache Pound two seeds and take with medicinal charcoal.
•Stomach pains Chew and eat two seed kernels and drink a cup of water.
•Arthritis pains Chew and eat two seed kernels in the morning and two again at night.

MORINGA OIL FOR BIOFUEL?• In the Philippines, SECURA International
announced that Moringa trees will be grown on 500,000 hectares to supply oil for sale to North American Biofuels, Inc. SECURA plans to export 150 million gallons of Moringa oil annually.
• In Australia, Moringa Pty Ltd is establishing Moringa plantations on 500,000 hectares. Moringa Pty is in discussion with Biodiesel Technology operators for the provision of a 2ML per annum biodiesel pilot facility to enable on-farm processing.
